  • Brighton and Hove COVID-19 Vaccination Stakeholder Briefing 26
    COVID-19 Response Stakeholder briefing 26 January 2021 COVID-19 Vaccination update: Brighton and Hove This briefing aims to update you on the roll out of the COVID-19 vaccination programme in Brighton and Hove. Latest position We have been stepping up the vaccination programme in phases over recent weeks and we have now done over 200,000 vaccines across Sussex. Official figures will be given later this week but we are on course to vaccinate the top four priority groups across Sussex by mid- February, in line with the national target. We now have arrangements in place for patients at every GP practice across Sussex, we have a large vaccination service going live from next week, and we have added two more hospital hubs to the six we already had in place. This will significantly increase our ability to vaccinate more people quicker in the coming days and weeks. Due to the relatively large number of people who are over 80 living in Sussex, we recognise it will take us longer than in some other parts of the country to vaccinate this priority group in particular. However, we are on track to vaccinate all care homes for older people by the end of the week, in line with the national target, and we expect to have vaccinated all over 80 year olds by the beginning of February. We are working extremely hard to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible and we are committed to meeting the target of getting the four priority cohorts vaccinated by 15th February.

Pankhurst & Craven Vale neighbourhood Eastern Road has always been the main thoroughfare, below the neighbourhood, and was the local centre providing shops, allotments facilities and the transport hub to the surrounding communities. The neighbourhood surrounding Eastern Road and Edward city centre Street was developed with poor quality buildings including 14 minutes by bus back to back housing. The southern part of the neighbourhood Marina around Kemp Town railway station was badly hit by bombing 19 minutes by bus during the World War II. Bomb damage, slum clearance during N the 1950s and 60s, and the available allotment land led to the development of the large housing estates that now occupy topography and microclimate much of the land within the neighbourhood.

  • Responding to Nature
    Responding to nature. Hannah Redfern Hughes 1 Health benefits of nature: Mind advocates for the use of Eco therapy. This specific type of therapy, which includes doing activities outdoors in nature, is found to help with mild to moderate depression and anxiety. I will always personally attest to the benefits of nature, specifically when I go for a walk with the aim of finding a green space or just to listen to the sea. I find it a very relaxing experience and helps to relieve any everyday stress. Own image. 20/07/20. 18.28 PM. Darren y gesail. 2 "Nature And Mental Health". Mind.Org.Uk, 2018.
